Three programs from the two FCS conferences for historically black colleges and universities received postseason bans Tuesday for poor NCAA Division I Academic Progress Rate scores.
The bans, based on four-year APR data, were lobbied against Alabama State and Mississippi Valley State in the Southwestern Athletic Conference, and Savannah State in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.
Eighteen programs across all Division I sports received penalties. Most have significantly fewer resources than those at top NCAA programs.
